TurboQueef Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 The new SHO should arrive tomorrow... Is there any break in required before letting it rip? Thanks, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Not really, I would take it a bit easy for the first 100 miles or so, but then drive it like you normally would drive. It is more important to give the brakes about a 500 mile break-in before really hammering them. Good luck, be sure to post up some photos of the SHO!

Crash712us Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I agree with Mark, take it easy 1st hundred Miles. Not to say you can open it up, I was always told to vary engine speed and load. You don't want it to sit idling for long times nor continuos freeway driving for extend periods of time. And I would change the oil out after a thousand miles. No a days cars don't need the breakin they use to, but a little add measure can't hurt.

TractorAK Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Ran it like I drive it since 8 miles. I know the debate is like arguing religion but that's how I have done with all my vehicles and toys. There is evidence for and against this method read up and choose. Good luck and have fun it's a great ride. This is a great argument for.... http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobback Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I follow the break-in recommendation, thought it was varying speed for first 500-1,000 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboQueef Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Good info.. thanks.. O.. the SHO has not arrived.. the delivery date still shows 8/30 but no show so far.. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Hopefully yours won't be like Showgun's, his took 5 months to finally show up at the dealer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboQueef Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 That would be horrible... they keep "re-releasing" it what ever that means... the delivery date still shows 8/30?? One thing for sure.. If we missed a due date to Ford on a Radiator or HVAC.. (products we make at the DENSO plant I work in).. there would be hell to pay... countermeasure reports.. financial penalty if it caused line down etc... Ouch...
